You Gotta Love'em | Charity Shops

Recently I was inspired by Love Your Clothes UK, how charity shops have not only been my main source to my wardrobe but also how this beautiful planet can benefit from your donations.

I'm not ashamed to say it, charity shops have been my main source to my wardrobe for years and also provided much needed last minute costumes on productions. Even as emergency clothing when I brought the wrong coat with me in the middle of winter (let's just say a felt coat and minus temperatures is not a good mix! Whoops!).

You can purchase some pretty cool stuff from charity shops."What...a toby jug?" Bit more then a Toby Jug, but hey Toby Jugs are also pretty cool. In recent years I've purchased rare vinyl's - (David Bowie, Queen, Pink Floyd ect), brand new Doc Martens, ASOS clothing, Ted Baker perfume and it doesn't stop there!

As some who is unemployed, you have to find ways to make your money stretch as far as it will go; on food, clothing, travel and sometimes gif…

Bring Me Sunshine | Life as a Musical Theatre Student | #1

Studying and training in Musical Theatre is an absolute dream at the moment, I may be a bit left footed when it comes to Jazz, but even when something doesn't go right we give it the jazz hands.

The students are lovely and so talented, it feels weird to be the eldest and occasionally having to (literally) catch up! During my Fine Art studies I was sort of the 'middle aged' student, but the eldest was 47 years old.

To catch up, what's been happening this past month?
I had the opportunity to participate in Lucy Suggate's 'Swarm Sculptures' at Nottingham Contemporary and rehearse in the amazing new Dance4 studio in September.

I also had the fantastic opportunity to go to my first premiere of 'Hood' in Nottingham for a pilot episode for the TV series starring, local singer/songwriter Josh Kemp and a fellow friends and actors, Adam Guest and Mik Horvath.
It was so wonderful getting to finally catch up with them and would like to personally thank them …

Life as a Musical Theatre Student Special | Anita And Me

In absolute excitement, I have been so happy and very fortunate to be back performing as Ensemble with Touring Consortium Theatre Company again in 'Anita And Me' at Theatre Royal Nottingham 14th to 18th March 2017.

THURSDAY | 9th March 2017

It's the first rehearsal, I am always nervous before meeting people but the fact I already know four of the ensemble members makes it just that little bit better, Michelle Smith, Estelle Smith, Alice Gee and Marcus Whybrow who were also in A Tale of Two Cities back in November 2016.

I have to be honest, it felt a bit weird to be going to the same rehearsal venue where I'm involved with two stage productions which ironically are being toured around the UK and each of the show's are exactly ten days apart - I'm currently involved with this production (Anita And Me) and The Grapes of Wrath.

We have commenced rehearsals on the beginning scenes where myself, Alice and Marcus have to run on stage cause chaos in Tollington with t…
